World Oil Market and Oil Price Chronologies: 1970 - 2001
http://www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/cabs/chron.html I announced this website in class, but it
did not work when I attempted to
just type in the URL. Click on it here to attempt a connection.
This chronology was orginally published by the Department of Energy's Office of
the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, Analysis Division. Updates for 1995-2001 are
from the Energy Information Administration. It was last updated in August
of 2002. Of course it is biased, but everything is. The accuracy is
probably very good, they just leave out the details, because they play the need
to know game. The last ten years are a beautiful following of The Prize
in content, we just don’t get to know how the oil ministers got along with
their wives or who they had love affairs with. Bummer, huh? I went
so far as to join the mailing list for updates!

A page of oil
energy links produced by two individuals "to pass knowledge that might
assist young generations." Paints a bleak picture of oil
consumption, particularly in the US. Use's a variety of
sources, many are within the past three years.

This website is a recently published annual review of the world's
energy demand of oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear, hydroelectric, solar and wind
power. This site created by the BP oil
company has many educational charts, graphs and maps. BP is also research and developing renewable energies all around
the world. Although this website does
promote the continuing consumption of oil resources, the information and
illustrations are very easy to understand and interesting. MT

This site is the online Oil and Gas Journal, which supplies tons of news articles about the extraction, production, transportation of oil and gas resources. It also has articles about oil's affect on social, economic and political issues around the world. Even though this site is promoting people to subscribe for the journal, one can still read recent articles from more of the oil industries perspective. Overall this website is very informative. MT

America, Oil &
National Security: What Government and Industry Data Really Show
I will let the title speak for itself. This is an excellent summary of national security, energy independence, consumption, trends, etc. It has lots of graphs in accompaniment. It is downloadable and printable, but also very readable online. AH
Try this for very recent propaganda! It supplies articles covering the usual vague stuff about oil in the headlines. It is put together by the World News Network, which has links to other sites as well, such as oil.com and MiddleEast.com. Weird, huh? AH
“The Coming Global Oil Crisis” is mysterious as to who and/or what it is. But this site provides a huge amount of direct links to other sites and articles about all aspects of petroleum. The information ranges from extremely current to very old. I highly recommend looking at the Summary and Overview in the left-hand side toolbar for overall oil statistics. AH
